Israel has a powerful military - but fighting a war against a much larger nation, with a population of maybe X10 that of Israel - is a steep task. During the latest Hamas/ Hizballah skirmish, Israel’s ability to intercept incoming rockets was depleted. They had to go to the US for help. (I, actually, suspect that to some extent, finding out how many rockets they can intercept was one of the purposes of the terrorist operation).

There is another factor which may give Iran pause. If it becomes known that they’re on the final stretch towards nukes - a number of Sunni Arab countries will also acquire them. In effect, it would lead to a nuclear race in the region.
